They know about atmospheric rivers that approach Antarctica and go over Antarctica, but they normally disperse. voice-verified

What was different about this particular one, apparently, is that there was a high pressure system which was sitting tight in one position. voice-verified

And so this river basically was crashing into it. voice-verified

causing a lot of rainfall and freezing rain to fall. voice-verified

And that was it. voice-verified

And you had it over the course of three days, and that was enough to change the temperature so drastically. voice-verified

Now, they're saying that they're not sure if this new trend is something of an oddity or is something that is going to be more prevalent as the climate continues to change. voice-verified

The jury is still out on that. voice-verified

They're still studying it. voice-verified

So they're not saying this is directly evidence of climate change, but it would be, you know, obviously you have to take climate change into consideration. voice-verified

And is this going to be a more common event that occurs and sort of speed up the overall warming that is going on as a result and kind of just making things worse? voice-verified

No, I hadn't mentioned it. voice-verified

And yeah, so again, these rivers all form in the tropical areas of the world and they spread out. voice-verified

And they've done a pretty good job of mapping these. voice-verified

A lot of good videos on YouTube if you want to look up more information about atmospheric rivers. voice-verified

It really is fascinating. voice-verified

So they believe that that's what happened and hence that three-day spike in those temperatures. voice-verified

Yep, at that station and multiple stations, including Vostok also took much higher measurements for temperatures for those days. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

Any guesses? voice-verified
